Thompson raisins come from the same variety as the Sultana raisins. Named after William Thompson who introduced this variety in California, this sweet fruit is the equivalent of the Mediterranean variety. Adapted to North-American weather, Thompson raisins have developed characteristics, colour and flavour all of their own. The difference between the two varieties is that the Thompson raisin is much darker in colour and bigger in size than the Sultana variety.
